Something
stinks in Anthill California. It has for some time. Recent news reports
indicate that for the first time in decades more ants are moving out
of the state than to it from other states. However, the state's population
is still growing by leaps and bounds. Odd? Not really. U.S. citizen
ants are moving out of the state and illegal alien cockroaches from
Mexico and points south are moving in. Indeed, the outward migration
of citizen ants and the inward migration of illegal alien cockroaches
both appear to be speeding up. Los Angeles now looks more Mexican than
many parts of Mexico. The anthill is no longer prosperous. Anthill California
has become Cockroach Central.

Cockroach
droppings are everywhere. Even most of those stepping in them are too
cowed by the PC sensibilities of our mad age to say that the genetic
recipe that made the anthill a prosperous anthill has now been changed
and that it will never be prosperous again until the old genetic recipe
is brought back. Some of the liberal stink bugs still believe that all
insects are the same even though their natural senses should tell them
just the opposite. It seems that nature has shorted them out on brains
in order to fit their stink glands into the package.
Whether the small brained bugs believe it or not, the reality is that
an anthill requires that there be enough ants in an anthill so that
their ant ways are dominant. Otherwise, the thing isn't an anthill.
When ants become the minority, the anthill, as an anthill, fails. Thus
do we see Anthill California starting to fail.

It's
true that Anthill California once led the nation in many things including
the quality of life for its citizens and the quality of its schools.
That was back when blond surfer ants were synonymous with the word California.
Visit the beaches today and you'll see a bunch of cockroaches with brown
shells, brown eyes, and black hair. They are indicative of the changes
that have helped California become like a dark corner under a refrigerator.
The ants are leaving Anthill California because they don't want to put
up with the cockroaches. Most won't put it that way though. They don't
want to be called bugists. As the ants leave, they're taking their ant
ways with them. A place takes on the character of the bugs that inhabit
it. Change the bugs and you change the nature of the place. That's the
story of Anthill California.

Cockroaches, like all living things, are perfect as
what they are. They have their own genetically determined cockroach
ways and approach to the world. They have their own ideas of what is
proper and what is not. They act and react to the world as their genes
have set forth. They live their lives according to their cockroach natures.
And, that's as it should be. The problem faced by Anthill California,
and increasingly in many other parts of the U.S. is that ours is a society
that was built and maintained according to the genetically determined
(as modified by local conditions and our particular history) ant way
of life. Replace the ants with cockroaches and you no longer have an
ant society.

Of course, if the ants don't mind, or are too weak
or stupid to defend their anthills and just let the cockroaches take
over, then they deserve to get what they get-which is the supplanting
of their ant society with an alien cockroach society. If the ants want
an ant society, they have to have ants--lots of ants--so that their
genetic natures dominate the society and so that their ways are the
norms of society. And, the ants have to insist on keeping the ant ways.
Multibugism doesn't work. You can't teach cockroaches to be ants.

Long
before the huge crisis that California now faces--including a deficit
that is larger than all other state deficits combined--some bright ants
saw what was happening and tried to stop the invasion of the cockroaches
by enacting Prop 187. This ordinary ant made law would have cut off
the freebies that the cockroaches were getting and which were largely
paid for by the ants. Then, one federal Preying Mantis threw out most
of Prop 187. When the ants tried to revive it, pencil necked, cockroach
enabler Governor Davis--a stink bug if ever there was one--killed it
off.

At what point any anthill stops becoming an anthill
and becomes a habitat for cockroaches is hard to say, but if you want
to keep your anthill, an anthill, dear friends, you may want to take
action to stop the slide when you see signs along the way such as increasing
crime against ants by cockroaches, and ants having to work harder to
feed, school, and house cockroaches. You may also want to start listening
to your instincts. If you get vague feelings that things just don't
feel comfortable to you anymore where you live, it may be time to reject
the conditioned notion that such feelings are just irrational prejudices.
Listen to your gut level instincts. Nature has given them to you for
a reason. Listen, also, for screwball, loudmouth ants who'll say things
such as, "They're here so we need to help them." "We're
all insects." "We all bleed green blood." "They
just want better lives."

Have
no doubt about it. Anthill California isn't being destroyed by natural
disasters or by inanimate objects, but by cockroaches. The weather is
just as nice as it has always been. The mountains, the beaches, the
deserts are all the same. So why is California now in the dumps? The
answer is simple. There are now too few ants as a percentage of the
population and too many cockroaches. Cockroach ways are replacing ant
ways.

Now the citizens of Anthill California want to fix things by squishing
Governor Gray Davis. Certainly that's a step on the right bug, but a
better bug who can fix the anthill is needed to replace him.

Lots of bugs are saying they can do it. Most are full of what flies
eat.

A
big, bad bug named Arnold has now come on the scene. However, as soon
as Arnold announced he was on to Davis, some foul and loathsome phony
conservative bugs crawled out from under the carpet to say that Arnold
isn't conservative enough for them. These dopey bugs always seem to
back some other loser bug who they think is a purer conservative or
who is purer on immigration reform. Unfortunately, most of these candidate
bugs are bloodless aphids who couldn't win an election to run a roach
motel. They look and act half squished every time they appear in public.

What Anthill California needs is a governor bug who isn't an ideologue
and who is smart enough to do what will work to make this a great place
to live once again.

Big bug Arnold may not be a new Ronald Reagan bug,
but he may be the right bug at the right time for the job. He seems
to be pragmatic. His career in show business indicates that he doesn't
give up easily and that he's goal oriented. According to those who know
him, he's also very organized and doesn't like things out of order.
Anthill California has a lot of disorganization and things that are
out of order.

It
doesn't matter that Arnold isn't known for wanting to curb illegal immigration.
Once he's in office and looks at why the state is in such a financial
and social hole, he will, if he is as honest as he seems, become a convert.
When he focuses on the goal of making California as great a place as
it once was, he'll have to address the subject of illegal aliens. Anthill
California can't be fixed otherwise.

TWO ICONOCLASTIC BOOKS BY H. MILLARD!
(Available at finer bookstores, by phone, or on the net)
The links appear to work on some software and not on others. If they
dont work, you can order via phone.

"Millard is an important writer" - New Nation News
"Millard is an original. His books aren't like your typical fiction.
If you don't know where to put his books, try the same shelf with Kerouac,
Kafka, Sartre and Nietzsche" - a reader.

It's official:
Californians flocking to Oregon
The departing Californians reversed a population trend on the West
Coast that held for decades, stretching back to the migrations of
displaced farmers fleeing the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.
Overall, California's population grew because of immigration from
foreign countries.
